Nigerian gospel singer, Toluwanisings and his crew members have been involved in a ghastly car accident.

Describing God as the only sure plug when it comes to protection, he wrote “And we survived what would have claimed our lives. My Israel will not die in the hands of pharaoh LAYELAYE. When the enemy came like a flood, the spirit of the lord raised a standard against them!
“This is how my team and I would have been totally crushed by a fully loaded trailer on our way from a ministration this morning”, he wrote.
